Cats spend up to 50% of their days self-grooming (aka primping)! Dogs, though? Now that&#8217;s another story. Unless your doggo is this fancy golden doodle whose night routine is total self-care goals, it&#8217;s likely far less particular than your average feline. Perhaps that&#8217;s why one toddler has taken it upon herself to doll up her mini Australian shepherd sibling in one adorable TikTok video. Truly, after a makeover like this, we&#8217;ve got the ultimate pretty princess on our hands.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It&#8217;s no surprise that this Aussie shepherd&#8217;s three-year-old sister wears a Little Mermaid dress in the ten-second clip, because she is nothing if not a perfect princess, who simply wants the same for her sibling. Proof? She&#8217;s given her big bro several bracelets, a flower, and the most precious pink crown, which just so happens to double as a toe separator.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The TikToker made the hilarious comparison to Australian shepherds&#8217; ancestral history of herding and protecting to present-day, when Aussies can be found &#8220;playing pretty princess with a three-year-old human girl.&#8221; A viewer confirmed that dress-up is most definitely a puppy pastime for others, saying, &#8220;My niece used to dress her pit bull up. She probably still does.&#8221; These are, indeed, adorable times!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Read more: <a data-yga=\"{\" ylinkelement=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cuteness.com\/1691046\/signs-your-dog-loves-you\/?zsource=yahoo\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:14 Signs Your Dog Loves You;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">14 Signs Your Dog Loves You<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Do dogs enjoy dress-up?<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Little girl playing dress up with her dog\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"780\" height=\"438\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/rp_0f2jV_wctfWa3BYL0Mg--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTUzOTtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/cuteness_articles_983\/3ba3d16d4355f7ccffc06f8b15bb3842\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-0 size-full\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-3 right-3 rounded-full bg-primary p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-primary\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"flex-none size-4 -scale-x-100 text-primary lg:size-6 [&amp;_path]:fill-current\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M3.1 3.1V11h1.8V6.314l5.392 5.393 1.415-1.414L6.313 4.9H11V3.1zm17.8 17.8V13h-1.8v4.686l-5.393-5.393-1.415 1.414 5.393 5.393H13v1.8z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 top-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-primary hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Little girl playing dress up with her dog &#8211; Peopleimages\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Our new favorite Aussie is notably quite relaxed and at ease as he&#8217;s covered in princess accessories in the video. You may have seen other happily-dressed pups, like this miniature dachshund proudly showing off his fall sweater. But, <a data-yga=\"{\" ylinkelement=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cuteness.com\/13729251\/is-it-ok-to-put-clothes-or-costumes-on-your-dog\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:is it okay to put clothes or costumes on your dog;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">is it okay to put clothes or costumes on your dog<\/a>? And how do you know when your dog loves it, or isn&#8217;t a huge fan?<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While some dogs love an extra layer in the winter, or a raincoat on a rainy day, others don&#8217;t; it really depends! The best way to see how your cutie feels during dress up is to pay very close attention to your pup&#8217;s body language. Does it whine, paw at its garment, or yawn? These are all possible signs of stress and could mean your fido isn&#8217;t having the best time in its new digs. Opposingly, your dog wagging its tail or seeming quite relaxed (like our Aussie princess) while wearing clothes is a great example of a pupper giving you the okay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">If your dog doesn&#8217;t mind a few accessories or a whole outfit, there can be benefits. Things like UV-blocking shirts can be great for shorthaired pups in need of extra protection, and booties are wonderful for muddy or snowy walks. Don&#8217;t forget the many adorable photo ops of your pup in that new costume!
